Lot Essay

Tom Cross discusses Feiler's work of this period, 'The paintings of the early 1960s have a clear concise use of abstract forms. The colours are those of the Cornish landscape - light, clear blue, slate grey, bracken brown and green; the shapes circular and tombed like the boulders. The titles of his paintings of 1960 read like a gazeteer of West Cornwall: Porthleven, Nanjizal, Porthcadjack, Porth Ledden' (Painting the Warmth of the Sun, Penzance, 1984, p. 169).
